It's been nearly 3 years since we said our sad & tearful goodbyes to our dear old girl Miss Chloe. We knew the right time would come when we would be ready to welcome a new fur baby into our hearts & lives & that moment came yesterday. We have 3 weeks to puppy proof the house & garden & then we can bring our sweet little girl home......we can hardly wait!

can't wait to meet the little one! and i'm thinking of you as you transition across to the new job. I sooo know your feeling and appreciate how emotionally and physically exhausting it can be. Onwards and upwards miss millie x

I am so happy for you! Can not wait to meet her! Three years is a long time to be without puppy-love! I know how hard it is though. I waited a very sad year and a half before being ready to go find sweet Ella. My lesson was that love, and only love, heals the pain of the loss. Ahhh, puppy joy!! (I call them all puppies, even if they are 10 years old;) Nothing better!!happy weekend!joan

I have to stay away from any puppy as I feel a huge need to take them home with me. I love their puppy breath that smells like turnips, I love their squiggly bodies, I love how they will play with anything, and I love how they make me feel. The dogs they turn into are entirely up to us. Well done Millie! (I am a bit jealous)

I just discovered your lovely blog. I'm just new into blogging this year & have just finished off my own blog on fashion, food, travel & interior design.http://scrapbook-melissah.blogspot.com/I had a lot of fun putting it together maybe you would like to check it out if you have a spare minute.xMelissah

ABOUT ME

Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.

With 3 sons, 2 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!

Mission Unbrown!

15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!

The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
